2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE SKIDDED IN THE DIRECTION OF THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE, WHEN THE CONSUMER TRIED TO AVOID AN COLLISION, THE CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND SLID INTO A POLE. UPON IMPACT, THE DRIVER AND REAR SEATS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, ALL THREE OCCUPANTS SUSTAINED BACK INJURIES. *AK *JB

WHILE DRIVING DRIVER HEARD A SHUTTER IN THE FRONT END. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND DEALER REPLACED AND MACHINED THE CALIPERS. *AK *MR

THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS ON MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WARPED AT 12,000 MILES. *AK

THE STEERING WHEEL MALFUNCTIONED UPON MAKING A LEFT TURN. AS A RESULT, STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT. STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY RECALL 01V007000 WAS ISSUED; HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. *AK *SCC

ROTORS ON VEHICLE HAVE WARPED ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT ABOUT 20K MILES AT WHICH POINT THE ROTORS WERE TURNED. THE SECOND WAS AT ABOUT 40K MILES AT WHICH POINT THE DEALER PERFORMED A TSB AND REPLACED THE CALIPERS WITH A NEW DESIGN TO SUPPOSEDLY FIX THE PROBLEM AND TURNED THE ROTORS AND PUT NEW PADS ON. THE ROTORS ARE NOW WARPED AGAIN DESPITE HAVING THE NEW CALIPERS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH WARPED ROTORS FOR OVER 20K MILES NOW DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE DEALER HAS NO CURE AND NEW ROTORS WILL JUST WARP AGAIN AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF DRIVING. *JB

I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION IN WHICH I REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS TRAVELLING AT APPROXIMATELY 40-45 MPH. UPON IMPACT WITH THE OTHER VEHICLE NEITHER MY SEATBELT FUNCTIONED NOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THIS CAUSED INJURY TO MY CHEST WHEN IT HIT THE STEARING WHEEL.*AK

CONSUMER NOTICED WHILE TRAVELING HEAT WAS BLOWING WITHOUT ANY INDICATION THAT HEAT CHANGED INTO COLD AIR. DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED, AND STATED PART WAS ON TWO WEEK BACK ORDER. *AK

OUR VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE GEN 3 SEAT BELTS. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THESE SAFETY BELTS ARE FAULTY AND ARE UNSAFE. PLEASE CONTACT CHRYSLER TO HAVE THESE SEAT BELTS RECALLED AND REPLACED. IT IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH. *CB

I HAVE A 2001 JEEP GRAND CH. LAREDO, WHICH I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE BRAKES ACTED DIFFERENT THAT MY PREVIOUS VEHICAL, BUT I ASSUMED IT WAS THE 4 WHEEL ABS. IT KEPT GETTING WORSE TO THE POINT OF ALMOST LOSING CONTROL ON HARD BRAKING. I WENT TO YORK MOTORS IN PRESCOTT TO SEE IF THERE WAS A BRAKE RECALL. I WAS TOLD NO AND MY PROBLEM WAS WARPED FRONT ROTORS WITH OUT THEM EVEN LOOKING AT THE VEHICAL. I WENT TO BRAKE MASTERS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ROTORS HAD TO BE TURN ON THE VEHICAL BECAUSE THE BACKING PLATE IT SELF WAS WARPED. $149.00 LATER THE BRAKING IS GREAT. I TALK TO OTHER JEEP OWNERS SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS WIDE SPREAD AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.*AK

WE HAVE HAD OUR GRAND CHEROKEE SINCE DECEMBER, 2000 AND HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS SERVICED FIVE TIMES IN THE FIRST 29,000 MILES OF USE. DAIMLER CHRYSLER CONTENDS THAT MY WIFE'S DRIVING HABITS ARE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS YET THERE ARE SEVERAL SERVICE BULLETINS LOGGED AT THE NHTSA SITE FOR THIS PROBLEM. JEEP'S ATTEMPT TO BLAME AN OBVIOUS PRODUCT DEFECT ON THE DRIVING HABITS OF THEIR CUSTOMER IS UNETHICAL AND SHOULD BE REPORTED.
